Creativity of Beltaine Moment
Beltaine is commonly understood in recent times to be a celebration of sexuality, and frequently in particular heterosexuality … but this is a simple reduction, and only one of the valencies of a deeper significance of the Seasonal Moment, which is the extant creativity of Sun and Moon in relationship, with Earth. The notable and […]
Desire, the Universe and Earth-Sun Creativity
For Beltaine especially, and the celebration of Holy Desire/Allurement “We awake to a universe permeated with allurement, and our most primal desire is to become this allurement.” (Brian Swimme, The Universe is a Green Dragon, p.55) ” This bonding is the perdurable fact of the universe and happens primievally in each fresh instant, a welling-up […]

This is the time of Spring’s return in our Southern Hemisphere. Warmth and growth may be sensed in the land, the flowers can be smelt in the air. The young light that we celebrated at Imbolc, has grown strong and come to balance with the dark. Life bursts forth with new strength. The story of […]
Why We Celebrate Her in Seasonal Ceremony
Why do we do this? … create sacred space wherein She may be spoken, wherein She may be embodied in Her Seasonal expression according to your place? Herewith some reason for celebrating a Gynocentric Cosmology, with religious/spiritual practice: it is more urgent than ever.

Poetry for Birthing New Being
This is one of my favourite poems to contemplate at the Seasonal Moment of Winter Solstice: it expresses so much for me of the journey into new being, and continues to at this time. Birthing is a shamanic act – it is frought with challenge and often takes one to the limits, yet eventually the […]

Samhain Ceremony and Cosmogenesis
A core inspiration for the processes of the Samhain/Deep Autumn seasonal rite as it has been done here at my place for over a decade, is Robin Morgan’s poem, “The Network of the Imaginary Mother“.[1] The whole poem helped me through a gateway into new language and perceptions some 34 years ago (1980), but the main […]
Autumn Equinox – Thanksgiving and Grieving
In the traditional Autumn Equinox ceremony here, it is said: “In our part of Earth, the balance is tipping into the dark. Feel the shift within you, see in your mind’s eye the descent ahead, the darkness growing, remember the coolness of it. This is the time when we give thanks for our harvests – […]
Season of the Rose – Blossom and Thorn
Summer Solstice ceremony is a celebration and invocation of the Sacred Fullness/Wholeness of Being – when our Sun is at its peak of radiance in our part of the world … when Summer fruits are ripening and pouring forth in abundance, when greenery is thriving (as it is in my region). The fullness of being […]
